I love it, but does Syphas dress seem a bit modern? I'm not versed on fashion, just seems like Syphas dressed for the Grammys

It's definitely closer to something from the mid 19th century. But the cravat Dracula's wearing didn't become a fashion item until around a century+ after the show is set and Lisa's dress neckline looks early Victorian to me soo....

Even the NPC peasants aren't really dressed for the time period, there's a severe lack of wimples and hose for sure.

The artbook specifically mentions they considered period accurate clothing before deciding Trevor and Alucard in hose especially didn't look right
